VOTE411 Voter Guide

I will ensure community needs are reflected in the annual budget by listening early and often, reviewing public input, meeting with department leaders, and weighing requests against measurable needs and available revenue. I support transparent budget discussions, accessible public comment, and clear explanations of major spending decisions. My priorities are protecting essential services, supporting public safety and education, maintaining infrastructure, and avoiding wasteful spending. Every dollar should be tied to a public purpose and evaluated for its long-term impact.

I would prioritize projects that improve safety, reduce congestion, and keep pace with growth. That includes road widening and intersection improvements, better traffic-signal timing, drainage and stormwater upgrades, safer sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, and improved access for emergency services. I would also support continued investment in schools, parks, libraries, and public safety facilities. The goal should be practical improvements residents notice every day, while coordinating county, city, and state resources to avoid duplication and maximize taxpayer value.
